BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] This invention is related to a hysteresis comparing device, and more particularly, related to a hysteresis comparing device with constant hysteresis width.

[0004] 2. Description of Related Art

[0005] Referring to FIG. 1, it is a block diagram, schematically illustrating a conventional tracking servo control loop. The tracking servo control loop is used in a CD/DVD system for reading information data stored in the CD/DVD disc and outputting the digital signals. The tracking servo control loop 100 includes a pick-up head (PUH) 102, a tracking-error signal generator 104, a low pass filter 106, and a hysteresis comparing device 108. The pick-up head 102 is used to access information signals from the CD/DVD disc, and output two satellite signals Ve and Vf. These two signals have a phase different of 180°. The tracking error signal generator 104 is coupled to the pick-up head 102 for receiving the satellite signals of Ve and Vf and then generate a tracking signal Va. The low pass filter 102 is coupled to the tracking error signal generator 104 to receive the tracking signal Va, and then generate a low pass signal Vdc in a direct current type. The low pass signal Vdc is an averaged signal level of the tracking signal Va. The hysteresis comparing device 108 has a positive input terminal, which is coupled to the tracking error signal generator 104 to receive the tracking signal Va. A negative input terminal of the hysteresis comparing device 108 is coupled to the low pass filter 106 to receive the low pass signal Vdc. The hysteresis comparing device 108 is used to receive the tracking signal Va and the low pass signal Vdc, and output the digital signal Vd.

[0006] Referring to FIG. 2, it is a drawing, schematically illustrating a signal transformation diagram for the hysteresis comparing device 108. In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents the tracking signal Va, which is received by the hysteresis comparing device 108 at the positive input terminal. The vertical axis represents digital signal Vd, which is outputed by the hysteresis comparing device 108. When the digital signal Vd is at the low voltage level and the voltage value of the tracking signal Va is gradually increasing up to an upper threshold voltage Vth, the digital signal Vd outputted by the hysteresis comparing device 108 is transformed form a low voltage level to the high voltage level. When the digital signal Vd is at the high voltage level and the voltage value of the tracking signal Va is gradually decreasing down to a lower threshold voltage Vt1, the digital signal Vd outputted by the hysteresis comparing device 108 then is transformed form a high voltage level to the low voltage level. The voltage difference between the upper threshold voltage Vth and the lower threshold voltage Vt1 is called as hysteresis width. The hysteresis width usually is, for example, 20 mV. In general, when the voltage difference for a usual comparator from the positive input terminal to the negative input terminal is greater than zero, a voltage with high level is outputted. When the voltage difference for a usual comparator from the positive input terminal to the negative input terminal is less than zero, a voltage with low level is outputted. However, when the voltage difference for the hysteresis comparing device 108 from the positive input terminal to the negative input terminal is at the increasing stage, that is, the voltage difference is gradually increasing, as shown in FIG. 2 with indication of the route A. The output of the hysteresis comparing device 108 is then transformed into the high voltage level only when the voltage at the positive terminal is necessary to be greater than the upper threshold voltage Vth. When the voltage difference for the hysteresis comparing device 108 from the positive input terminal to the negative input terminal is at the decreasing stage, as shown in FIG. 2 with indication of the route D, the output of the hysteresis comparing device 108 is then transformed into the low voltage level only when the voltage at the positive terminal is necessary to be less than the lower threshold voltage Vt1. The hysteresis comparing device 108 is used to prevent glitch at the input terminal from occurring, and prevent a misjudgment on the signal.

[0007] Referring to FIG. 3, it is drawing, schematically illustrating a signal waveform for the tracking servo control loop 100. The tracking error signal generator 104 further outputs the tracking signal Va according to the satellite signals Ve and Vf. The tracking signal Va has glitch induced by the interference from the high frequency signal. Due to the hysteresis effect of the hysteresis comparing device, the glitch of the voltage value between the high threshold voltage Vth and the lower voltage threshold Vt1 does not affect the outputted result from the hysteresis comparing device, so that the precision for judging the signal can be improved. When the digital signal Vd is at the low voltage level, the tracking signal Va is necessary to be greater than the upper threshold voltage Vth and when the condition is satisfied, the digital signal then is transformed from the low voltage level to a high voltage level. When the digital signal Vd is at the high voltage level, the tracking signal Va is necessary to be less than the lower threshold voltage Vt1 and when the condition is satisfied, the digital signal then is transformed from the high voltage level to a low voltage level.

[0008] Referring to FIG. 4, it is a circuit diagram, schematically illustrating a circuit structure of the conventional hysteresis comparing device 108. The hysteresis comparing device 108 includes PMOS transistors PC, PC2, PD1, PD2, NMOS transistors NL, NR, and a current source Ia with a constant direct current. All of the PMOS transistors PC1, PC2, PD1, and PD2 have the source regions that are commonly coupled to the system voltage source V_(DD). The gate electrode and the drain region of the transistor PD1 are electrically coupled together. The gate electrode and the drain region of the transistor PD2 are electrically coupled together. The gate electrode of the PC 1 transistor is coupled to the drain region of the PC2 transistor. The gate electrode of the PC2 transistor is coupled to the drain region of the PC1 transistor. The drain region of the transistor NL is coupled to the drain region of the PC1 transistor. The drain region of the transistor NR is coupled to the drain region of the PC2 transistor, and also coupled to the constant current source Ia in cascade manner. The gate electrode of the transistor NR is the negative input terminal, and the gate electrode of the transistor NL is the positive input terminal. The hysteresis comparing device 108 has two loops. One loop is composed of the transistors PC1 and PC2 to serve as a positive feedback loop. The other one loop is composed of the transistors NL and NR to serve as a negative feedback loop. If the effect of the positive feedback loop is stronger than the effect of the negative feedback loop, then this circuit has the effect of hysteresis. This phenomenon is well known by the skill artisans. However, due to the mobility carried in the transistor, both the threshold voltage and the thickness of the gate oxide layer are easily affected or changed by the fabrication process or the operation temperature. If the transistors PC1 and PD2 are not properly matched, the transistors PC2 and PD1 are not properly matched, or the transistors NL and NR are not properly matched. Then an unstable voltage difference would be caused between the upper threshold voltage Vth and the lower threshold voltage Vt1. As a result, the width of the hysteresis comparing device 108 is not a constant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Referring to FIG. 5, it is a drawing of circuit diagram, schematically illustrating a circuit structure of the hysteresis comparing device 500, according one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The hysteresis comparing device 500 includes a threshold voltage generator 510, a multiplexer 530, and a next stage comparator (CP). The hysteresis comparing device 500 is used to receive a tracking signal Va and a low pass signal Vdc, and to output a digital signal Vd. The threshold voltage generator 510 is used to receive the low pass signal Vdc, and to output an upper threshold voltage Vth and a lower threshold voltage Vt1. The multiplexer 530 is coupled to the threshold voltage generator 510, and is used to receive the digital signal Vd, the upper threshold voltage Vth and the lower threshold voltage Vt1. Then, according to the feedback digital signal Vd, one of the upper threshold voltage Vth and the lower threshold voltage Vt1 is chosen to be an output as the multiplexing signal Vt. When the digital signal is at the high voltage level, the multiplexing signal Vt then is the lower threshold voltage Vt1. In this situation, the tracking signal Va is necessary to be less than the lower threshold voltage Vt1, so as to be able to transform the output of the hysteresis comparing device 500 into a low voltage level. When the digital signal is at the low voltage level, the multiplexing signal Vt then is the upper threshold voltage Vth. In this situation, the tracking signal Va is necessary to be greater than the upper threshold voltage Vth, so as to be able to transform the output of the hysteresis comparing device 500 into a high voltage level. The next stage comparator CP is coupled to the multiplexer 530. A positive input terminal of the comparator receives the tracking signal Va, and the negative terminal of the comparator receives the multiplexing signal Vt. According to the tracking signal Va and the multiplexing signal Vt, the comparator outputs the digital signal Vd.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 6, it is a drawing of circuit diagram, schematically illustrating a circuit structure of the multiplexer 530 in FIG. 5, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The multiplexer 530 includes the transmission gates T1 and T2, and an inverter INV. The inverter INV is coupled to the output terminal of the next stage comparator CP, so as to receive the digital signal Vd to output an inverted digital signal Vd. Each one of the transmission gates T1 and T2 separately has a first transmission terminal, a second transmission terminal, a first control terminal, and a second control terminal. With respect to the transmission gate T1, the first transmission terminal is used to receive the upper threshold voltage Vth, and the second transmission terminal is coupled to the output terminal of the multiplexer 530. The first control terminal is used to receive the digital signal Vd. The second control terminal is coupled to the inverter INV and used to receive the inverted signal of the digital signal Vd. If the digital signal Vd is at the low voltage level, then the first transmission terminal and the second transmission terminal of the transmission gate Ti are both conducted, and this causes the multiplexer 530 to output the upper threshold voltage Vth. With respect to the transmission gate T2, the first transmission terminal is used to receive the lower threshold voltage Vt1, and the second transmission terminal is coupled to the output terminal of the multiplexer 530. The first control terminal is coupled to the inverter INV and used to receive the inverted signal of the digital signal Vd; and the second control terminal is coupled to an output terminal of the next stage comparator CP and used to receive the digital signal. If the digital signal Vd is at the high voltage level, then the first transmission terminal and the second transmission terminal of the transmission gate T1 are both conducted, and this causes the multiplexer 530 to output the lower threshold voltage Vt1.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 7, it is a circuit diagram, schematically illustrating a circuit structure of the threshold voltage generator 510 in FIG. 5, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The threshold voltage generator 510 includes a bandgap reference voltage generator 702, a transconductance amplifier 704, an NMOS transistor Q, a reference resistor Rb, a first current mirror 706, a second current mirror 708, a first resistor R1, and a second resistor R2. The bandgap reference voltage generator 702 is used to produce the bandgap reference voltage Vbg. A positive input terminal of the transconductance amplifier 704 is coupled to the bandgap reference voltage generator 702, in which the positive input terminal is used to receive the bandgap reference voltage Vbg. The gate electrode of the NMOS transistor Q is coupled to an output terminal of the transconductance amplifier 704. The source region of the transistor is coupled to the negative input terminal of the transconductance amplifier 704. One terminal of the reference resistor Rb is coupled to the source region of the transistor Q, and the other terminal is coupled to a ground voltage. Therefore, the current flowing through the reference resistor Rb has a quantity of Vbg/Rb. The first current mirror 706 is a current mirror having the feature of 1:1:n. That is, the first terminal of the first current mirror 706 receives the referencing current Ib and the second terminal generates the mirror current I1, and the third terminal generates the mirror current I2, in which I1=Ib, I2=n×Ib. The second current mirror 708 is a current mirror having the feature of 1:n, that is, the first terminal of the first current mirror 708 receives the mirror current I1, the second terminal generates the mirror current I2. The parameter n can be determined by the user. The first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are coupled in cascade, and both the resistors have the same quantity of resistance R. The mirror current I2 flows through both the resistor R1 and R2. One terminal of the first resistor R1 and the third terminal of the first current mirror 706 are coupled together, so as to receive the mirror current I2, in which the voltage quantity at this terminal is also the quantity of the upper threshold voltage Vth. The other terminal of the first resistor R1 is coupled to the second resistor R2, in which this terminal with its voltage is used to receive a low pass voltage Vdc. The second resistor R2 has one terminal coupled to the first resistor, and the other terminal is coupled to the second terminal of the second current mirror 708, in which this terminal has a voltage that is the lower threshold voltage Vt1 The voltage drop Vr1 of the first resistor R1 is a quantity of I2×R1=n×(Vgb/Rb)×R. If the resistor is affected by the environment condition, such as temperature, the resistance would increase or decrease by K percent. Since the first resistor R1 and the reference resistor Rb are made in the same material, then the first resistor R1 has a voltage drop of: ${Vr1} = {{n \times \frac{Vbg}{{Rb}\left( {1 \pm {k\%}} \right)} \times {R\left( {1 \pm {k\%}} \right)}} = {n \times \frac{Vbg}{Rb} \times {R.}}}$

[0023] According to the above equation, the voltage drop Vr1 of the resistor R1 is not affected by the environment conditions. The upper threshold voltage is Vth=Vr1+Vdc. Therefore, the upper threshold voltage Vth can remain in a stable level without being affected by the variation of environment. With the same reasons, the lower threshold voltage Vt1 can also remain in a stable level. Thus,

Vth=Vdc+I2×R; and

Vt1=Vdc−I2×R,

[0024] in which I2=n×(Vbg/Rb). The upper threshold voltage Vth and the lower threshold voltage Vt1 are symmetric to the low pass voltage Vdc. The hysteresis width is

Vth−Vt1=2×R×(n×Vbg/Rb).

[0025] According to the relation, it can be noted that the hysteresis width is constant, and not affected by the variation of the environments.

[0026] The present invention can provide the stable levels of the upper threshold voltage and the lower threshold voltage. As a result, the the hysteresis width can remain constant, and not affected by the variation of the environment conditions, so that the hysteresis comparing device can judge the received signals with higher precision.

[0027] In summary to the above descriptions, the hysteresis comparing device with constant hysteresis width disclosed in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention can suppress the affection from the glitch. In the present invention, under the affection of the environment, constant hysteresis width can still be provided, so that the hysteresis comparing device can judge the received signals with higher precision.
